Russia's Massive Attack: 59 Missiles Hit Ukraine Power Grid as US Votes

Russia launched 59 cruise missiles at Ukraine's power grid and bombed a hospital in Kharkiv on Tuesday, hours before Americans cast their ballots in the US election. The attack is one of the largest strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since the war began 1,714 days ago. The missile barrage targeted power facilities across the country, while the hospital strike in Kharkiv caused casualties and damage. Ukraine's air defenses responded to the assault as emergency crews worked to restore power and treat the wounded. The timing of the attack, just before the US election, drew international attention to the ongoing conflict.
